I saw a neighbor working on an image in photoshop and paintshop pro, though this is not about psp, but essentially he did the same thing with both programs, I guess just different tools.

 

In photoshop:

He had x number of images open.  he selected one as the background, sorta just white.  well anyway he selected a tool or several tools i dont know but basically he started either painting or airbrushing and an image appeared.  do all of you under stand what I mean?  It was like it was preset or pre-created.  I had to leave and since then he has had to dploy, my neighbor is in the navy.  I saw him switch to psp and using I dont know what tools again he placed deer, trees a whole lot of stuff.  what in the heck did he do???  I am lost, the only info I got from him was something about tubes and premade brushes that he downloaded for free somewhere.

how did he paint all those fairies animals and the like with out really trying?  It was like the tools were defined to spray or brush out particular images.  crap!  I hate deep learning curves.
